Saving Hacks

I am an undergraduate and all my money is currently in a DBS Savings Account. Are there any other better ways to grow my savings with higher interest rates?

Would like to hear some advice beyond investments!

Can consider Sif, RHB, CIMB, OCBC 360, SingLife or Trust Bank.

Hi Anon, I would suggest you to open the following accounts:

  1. Singlife: 2.5%p.a. for first 10k

  2. Standchart's Jumpstart: 2%p.a. for first 20k (Do note that you have to open your account before you turn 27)

  3. OCBC's Bonus + Savings account: 1.45%p.a. if you deposit $500 a month and make no withdrawals. If you do not deposit $500 a month but you make no withdrawals you will earn 1.05%p.a. for that month.

  4. CIMB's Fastsaver: 1.0%p.a.

Some of these accounts have great perks, such as debit cards cashback.

Jumpstart account offers 1% cashback on eligible transcations with no minimum spend.

If you are still using your DBS account, I suggest you to use the DBS visa debit card. If you hit a minmum spend of $400/ month via contactless transcations, you will be eligible for 3% cashback, capped at $20/month. A relatively great deal!
